And now we have Plan M, the contingency plan for our contingency plan's contingency plan concerning the high school schedule.

School is still out throughout the state, and games everywhere are being postponed. With conference and league titles up for grabs, athletic directors are doing all that they can to find times to fit in their games.

However, in some cases, there's just nothing that can be done. Several league tournaments have already been cancelled outright, including the BL, SWC, and CCC wrestling tournaments, due to the upcoming state class wrestling championships currently set for Friday and Saturday.

With the BL girls basketball title up for grabs, a date for the Nonnewaug-Thomaston showdown has still to be determined.

The game, once scheduled for Monday, then today, is still in limbo, but one thing is for sure — it won't take place on Wednesday. On Wednesday, Thomaston travels to Housatonic for a 7 p.m. start.

It looks like the NVL will be waiting to name its girls basketball champion, as well.

With four first-round games scheduled at Holy Cross on Saturday, NVL president and Naugatuck athletic director Tom Pompei said no discussions have been held (about pushing the tournament back), but he admitted that there is a real chance the games could be pushed back.

NVL tournament director and Holy Cross athletic director Jerry Ciarleglio said that Monday may be the best option because the league could play a full four games starting at noon on the President's Day holiday, but still did not rule out Sunday.

On the boys side, the Copper division showdown between Crosby and Kennedy, originally scheduled for Monday, has been pushed back until next week. Now, the Bulldogs will travel to the Eagles' Jack Taglia Gymnasium for a 7 p.m. tip on Feb. 18.

The Brass matchup between Watertown and Wolcott is still scheduled for Wednesday at 7. The Eagles can clinch the division title with a victory.

In the BL, the girls-boys doubleheader between Gilbert and Northwestern is still on for tonight in Winsted. The girls will kick off at 5:30 p.m., and the boys are set to take the court at 7:30 p.m.

The Class L indoor track championships have also been pushed back to Friday. The schedule now looks like this: Class LL on Wednesday, Class S on Thursday, Class L on Friday, and the Open on Feb. 19.

All events will be held at New Haven's Floyd Little Athletic Center at 4 p.m.
